Has NBA star Abdel Nader joined forces with Oldenburg's EWE Baksets in the Bundesliga?
NBA ace Abdel Nader (30) has been honing his skills with Oldenburg's EWE Baksets team for a little over a week. His presence has created quite the buzz. After an extended injury layoff, Nader is anxious to get back in the game.
Gaining experience in the NBA for five years since 2017, he rose through the ranks as a small forward for the Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Phoenix Suns. This basketball virtuoso attended both Northern Illinois and Iowa State universities prior to his basketball career. Nader has a total of 202 NBA games to his name.
Could NBA star Nader be Oldenburg's newest teammate?
As of now, Oldenburg's aspirations do not involve securing a permanent contract for the guest trainer. However, an upgrade in performance could alter their stance. Both sides would need to strike a favorable financial agreement first. Compared to his NBA earnings, a substantial pay cut would be demanded of Nader.
The team's primary goal is to raise the standard of training with their skilled counterpart. The Baskets have faced numerous injury concerns for several weeks. In the thrilling 58:79 defeat against Chemnitz's league leaders, Oldenburg was missing five key players (including Manning, Pjanic, and DiLeo). This turmoil has sparked a minor crisis at the once prominent club in the Easycredit Basketball Bundesliga.
Coach Pedro Calles' squad has suffered a six-game losing streak across all competitions. The Baskets are now relying on a one-and-a-half week break before their subsequent game in the Champions League against Karsiyaka (Turkey). This downtime should help rejuvenate the remaining key players.
Oldenburg's sports director, Srdjan Klarić, shared his thoughts after the Chemnitz loss: "We noticed that many players could no longer perform towards the end. The amount of minutes played on the court is quite high for individual players. Our seven professionals are at their physical limits. It's quite convenient for us to have a bit of a break now."
